David and I traveled to Philly this weekend for a couple of reasons. First of all, we have not seen our dear friends Pam and Gray in way too long, and because another of my favorite couples were speaking at their church. When Pam told me in January that Jon and Kate (minus their 8 kids) were going to be at their church I told her to sign me up! We had thought about taking Ava along for the trip but decided she would have more fun at home with Nana J, Papa, and Aunt Shannon. I was a nervous wreck on Friday thinking about leaving her, but she did great and we had a GREAT time!!
On Saturday we did the "air-conditioned tour of Philly" as Pam called it. Then we had lunch downtown...Philly cheesesteaks of course. This was our first cheesesteaks ever.. (that's so crazy because I worked at Andy's for 2 years in high school and had never had one!) Let me tell you these cheesesteaks alone were worth getting up at 2:30 am and driving 7 hours! After lunch we did a lot of shopping and a lot of catching up!
Then the big day finally came!! We helped Pam and Gray and their church family set up for the big event. Everyone was very excited! I appointed myself to be Pam's assitant for the day so I could be on the inside of things. David and Gray were part of the stage crew and I think I may have even converted David to a Jon and Kate fan...(okay that may be a little of a stretch)
They have such an inspiring story and a heart for God! They said that TLC edits their faith out of the show a lot but they fell like their testimony alone shows just how faithful our God is!
Here are some pictures from our Philly weekend...
David, Gray, and the pastor doing important backstage stuff! :) 
I made David break the rules and take just one picture for me! There was no way I was waiting in line and paying $20 (yes 20 bucks) for a signed picture plus I was dying to get home to Ava!! I have to say that Kate is beautiful in person!
Thanks Pam and Gray for such a great weekend! We love you guys!!
